Why the heck do I debrief myself??

Quite simply because in our profession, research has shown, that we are exposed to not only primary sources of trauma but secondary as well. For our own mental health, physical wellbeing, and over all growth as a human being we have to learn to unpack all of that in a healthy way. This is what helps us discover the things we are good at, the things we need to work more at, and where we are unintentionally hurting ourselves.

Learning this skill preserves our ability to strengthen resilience. The most current research surrounding resilience shows that it is truly a protective factor that increases our ability to thrive in our environment. You have worked so incredibly, persistently, and personally hard… to get where you are today. You deserved to learn how to protect and heal yourself while on that journey. But nursing as a culture hasn’t really warmed up to the idea of putting nurses first and teaching us how to take care of ourselves. 

Coffee, Crystals & Divination

This is our very first Coffee, Crystals, and Divination segment, and I am beyond excited. If divination isn’t your thing you can take it for mediation or journaling prompts… take what works for you and leave the rest! That’s the beauty of having so much fun connecting like this. You can come as you are and zero pressure to change “to fit in”.
